Ingredients
- 1 rounded tablespoon finely ground coffee, preferably an espresso blend
- 1/4 cup cold milk (whole, 2%, or nonfat)
- 1 pinch cocoa powder or ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the coffee: Brew the finely ground coffee using your preferred method, such as an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker, to get a strong shot of espresso.
- Froth the milk: Pour the cold milk into a frothing pitcher or a small saucepan and froth it using a milk frother or whisk vigorously until it is light and foamy.
- Combine coffee and milk: Pour the freshly brewed espresso into a cappuccino cup. Slowly add the frothed milk on top, holding back the foam with a spoon, then spoon the foam on top to create a layered texture.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle a pinch of cocoa powder or ground cinnamon over the foam if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade cappuccino.
Notes
- Use cold milk for better frothing results. Whole milk creates a creamier texture, but 2% or nonfat milk works well too.
- If you don’t have a milk frother, you can froth milk by shaking it vigorously in a sealed jar and then microwaving for 30 seconds.
- Adjust the coffee amount based on how strong you prefer your cappuccino.
- Consider using a dark roast or espresso blend for the authentic cappuccino flavor.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute milk with almond, soy, or oat milk, but frothing results may vary.
